This is a great song from a local in Eugene, OR. I'd love to get music from her, but she isn't on the internet at all. I'd be interested to know what you guys think.

"Atom Heart Mother" is one of the earlier Pink Floyd albums -- about number 4 or 5. It's an alright album, but it's hardly representative of the "classic" Pink Floyd. Classic Pink Floyd would be -- in order of release -- "Meddle," "Dark Side Of The Moon," "Wish You Were Here," "Animals," and "The Wall."Handruin said:I haven't really followed Pink Floyd. Is that a recent event? I didn't know they were still around. The only CD I have from them is a 24 carat gold Atom Heart Mother CD I bought years ago. It's one of those Original Master Recording series Ultra Disc II. It's a decent disc, but I'm not a huge fan of their style.
Just more really stupid ravings from Roger Waters, along with "we don't need no education". His mother was a teacher, BTW.tazwegion said:"Hey teacher!... leave them kids alone..." :boom:
Yes., that *immediately* hit me. In fact, I was quite surprised that Pink Floyd even did that reunion show at all (i.e. -- the Waters problem). I had read more than once that the director of the movie "The Wall" declared Roger waters a giant pain in the @ss to work with. This part of the interview pretty much summed it up well:time said:Re the Roger Waters interview: he's still an arrogant SOB, I see.![]()
Are you from the camp who referred to "The Wall" as "Disco Floyd" when it came out? I don't count "The Wall" very high up my Pink Floyd album list, but its alright for the most part. Heck, now that I'm talking about this sort of thing, I'll just sort them in about the order that I like them (top = best):Actually, I fell out with Pink Floyd over The Wall. The only track I really liked was "Comfortably Numb", so I never bought the album.
Well... (chuckle) it's not really Nick Mason, it's actually Carla Bley's band and he is simply fulfilling the role as drummer.I agree with you about the solo albums, although I haven't listened to Nick Mason's effort.
I'm pretty sure the first Pink Floyd album I heard (and subsequently bought) was the 2-LP set "Ummagumma" in 1970 -- though, I sometimes think that I might've actually heard either "Saucerful Of Secrets" or "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" before that and (for some reason) wasn't somehow impressed. About a year later, I bought the "Meddle" LP when it came out. "Dark Side Of The Moon" didn't come out until early in '73.tazwegion said:That's interesting 'The Wall' was actually what introduced me to the Pink Floyd phenomenon...
I saw the movie "The Wall" at a cinema house somewhere way back when. However, I had a couple of friends who were able to go see one of Pink Floyd's 6 or 7 or 8 scheduled "The Wall" concerts in 1980 in the Nassau County Colosseum out on Long Island (NYC). "The Wall" concerts were really theatrical events as much as concerts and only occurred in London, New York, and Los Angeles (and maybe one other place), because the huge and complicated stage setup was such a hassle to un-assemble and reassemble -- not to mention the typical multiple-truckloads of quadrophonic PA and music hardware they would usually haul around for a concert event.tazwegion said:Hmmm... different horses, for different coursesI actually liked "The Wall" and found the movie intriguing,...
Well, I've got some wacky tastes in music....however my musical taste spans from popular classical to Hard Rock & Heavy Metal.
Is Harold Budd's "Pavilion of Dreams" any good?Splash said:Well, I've got some wacky tastes in music.
Here's my (not updated) CD list. I know that I've added a few CDs and ditched a few more than I added since ast June. <chuckle> You might want to avoid most of these:

Hell ya! I wouldn't keep it around if it wasn't. :lol:i said:Is Harold Budd's "Pavilion of Dreams" any good?
A riff is simply the main theme of a pop song, or a song's "hook." It doesn't necessarily show up in the beginning of a song, but it will at least show up somewhere early. People that write riff-driven songs usually compose the riff -- usually by sitting around composing and polishing a riff, or stringing two or more riffs together to make a complete song. I usually hate riff-based rock, as half the time it’s just a sign that the composer ran out of original ideas.Buck said:I do not have a technical understanding of music, so I'm appealing to this group for an explanation of a riff...
Sorry this took so long Splash . . . thanks for the explanation.

There are a lot of common guitar riffs, such as a certain bunch that involve playing a note followed by lower-pitched note that’s rapidly bent up in pitch to the previously-played note. These riffs are what I’ve always called “ChuckBerry–isms,” which can be heard in “Johnny B. Goode” and about a million rock’n’roll songs since 1958. Other riffs may be much more complex than these ChuckBerry-isms.
I thought "Dylan" was a crappy programming language that Apple invented in the '90s.Dylan fans still exist?
Yep. Theramin. I've played a few briefly over the years. The last one I played was a couple of years ago, and it was the best one of the bunch.Mercutio said:Over the weekend I found a CD of classical music composed specifically for performance on a theramin...
Bleh... Just had a very nice dinner with my girlfriend and polished off a bottle of wine in 30 minutes. I think she only had one glass. (Most true... jesus...)Battlestar is science-fiction in its most true and its greatest tradition...
